User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise ShotDeck's strong content and mobile UI, especially the Decks workflow and thumbnail controls. However, the iOS app is plagued by instability—crashing during searches, swiping, and saves—and the search feature is frequently nonfunctional. Users also report login/age-verification hurdles and a high subscription price that undermines value compared with the web. A few note missing iPad multitasking support. Overall, the app excels in design and usefulness but stability and pricing are major pain points.
Pros
  • Strong filmmaking research library and deck creation capabilities
  • User-friendly, comprehensive, and sleek mobile UI
  • Decks feature with thumbnail size control and multi-image addition
  • UI/UX that closely mirrors desktop experience on iPad/iPhone
  • Overall usefulness and design quality praised across reviews
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and instability on iPad/iPhone, especially during searches and swipes
  • Search functionality is frequently broken or unusable
  • Login/age-verification hurdles and new account requirements
  • High subscription price not perceived as worth it compared to alternatives
  • Lack of iPad multitasking support (no split-screen)

This app keeps quits after a few searches or image saves. Very frustrating.

I can’t search anything without the app crashing. Please fix this issue

Why is age verification required for this app? Previously version allowed you to login with password. Now this asks if 16 or older and then wants you to create an account with Apple ID. Why? What? Huh? I already paid with a CC and now there are new hurdles? Don’t update. Just use web or stay on older version until devs can justify this weirdness.
